Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria have left behind terrible destruction and many people in need. This challenge is a fundraising auction to raise money to help our friends, family, and neighbors in the effected areas.

The way this fundraiser works is artists volunteer to auction their artwork and then donate the proceeds of any sales.

You do not need to be a member of DPW to submit an entry - all artists are welcome.

Each artist who participates in this fundraiser agrees to donate 100% of the proceeds of their sale, minus their shipping costs, to an aid organization of their choice, such as the American Red Cross - or to a family member or friend in need because of the storm. Please indicate in your entry's description, when submitting, to which organization or to whom you will be donating.

There are no requirements or restrictions on what you can submit to the challenge, other then it be original, natural media, 2-D art created by you.

While DPW manages the fundraiser and the auctions, the actual purchase is directly between the artist and the buyer, with the artist making the donation.

The auction for each artwork may end at different days and times. This fundraiser does not have a specific duration. It will end when active participation ends.

Please be sure to add the Fundraiser Widget to your blog or website to help spread the word.
